The study trip gives part-time students the opportunity to acquire intercultural competence.
Under the guidance of the lecturer, the students find out about potential study destinations, research relevant data and facts about the destination country and organize the program:
The week in an international environment includes visits to companies, lectures at partner universities as well as lectures and events in the field of Social Competences.
The aim is to ensure that students acquire an understanding of the cultural main-stream of the country in question.
Discussions with specialists and executives, visits to Austrian foreign trade centers, economic and social associations round off the international and personality-building experiences of the study trip.
